"Light Through the Cracks" takes viewers on a journey through the diverse forms of collective creation that have emerged through video art from the 1970s to the present. At its heart lies the experience of Video-Nou / Servicio de Vídeo Comunitario (Community Video Service). This group, active during Catalonia's transition, viewed video not only as a technological medium but also as a political and social tool to foster self-organization, community empowerment, and counter-information dissemination. Starting from this historical juncture, the exhibition unfolds across different thematic areas, weaving together archives, practices, and strategies from other countries and international groups (regardless of their historical context or contemporary characteristics). The exhibition is not a linear genealogy but rather a series of experiences that blur the lines between art and activism, documentation and fiction, aesthetics and ethics.

The museum continues its series of projects themed around the civil war, such as the new permanent war gallery launched in 2021, and the "Museum Crisis!" exhibition focusing on the preservation of cultural artifacts during the conflict. Based on the museum's materials and related research, the National Museum of Catalonia (MNAC) will exhibit for the first time a selection of works from the Franco National Antiquities Preservation Agency (SDPAN). Founded in 1938, SDPAN's collection has been housed in this museum and other institutions, and its ownership remains a mystery.

The first national retrospective of 2025 Joan Miró Prize laureate Capuvani Kiwanga will open on April 29th. The exhibition is a joint effort between the Stavros Niácos Foundation (SNF) and CUPRA. Kiwanga creates compelling interior architecture, exploring the materiality, economic exchange, and geological temporality that shape our relationship with space. This exhibition, conceived specifically for the Joan Miró Foundation, will fully reflect his exploration of space and control, offering a radical contemporary perspective on architecture and its power structures. Kiwanga's work exhibits an extremely precise and coherent internal structure. Her artistic practice interacts organically with architecture: the artist explores materiality, resource flows, the exchange economy, and the power structures that organize regions and groups. Building on her research into architectural structures and material circulation systems, in recent years Kiwanga has extended this paradigm to fields beyond the human time dimension, such as geology, thus enabling her to understand space and systems from a perspective beyond human timescales. Kiwanga is an anthropologically trained and internationally renowned artist. She has created a series of works that use refined installation art to deconstruct hegemonic narratives and analyze the relationship between power, architecture, place, and the body. The jury of the Joan Miró Prize praised her ability to transform complex historical and social processes into poetic and rigorous conceptual forms that engage in profound dialogue with Miró's radicalism and Celtic architectural ideas. This exhibition will bring together a series of the artist's previous works, as well as a large number of new works created specifically for the Barcelona exhibition. The exhibition will revolve around the following themes, focusing on three key areas: materiality, economic and cultural exchange and its structural tensions, and contemporary crises related to place, encompassing various aspects such as agriculture and housing. All of these aspects are directly related to the architectural perspective that runs through this year's exhibition project, positioning Kiwanga's work as a rethinking of how the world we live in is constructed.
